Instructions
-
Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by crushing the pepper, salt, and garlic together. If you prefer convenience, you can skip this step and use Masako or Royco instead.
-
Slice the Tofu: Cut the tofu into triangular pieces, reserving two pieces to be crushed and mixed into the batter.
-
Make the Aci Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the tapioca flour with the crushed seasonings (pepper, garlic, salt) or Masako, along with the sliced chives. Add the crushed tofu to the mixture.
-
Add Hot Water: Gradually pour in the hot water, mixing until the dough reaches a smooth and pliable consistency. Be careful not to add too much water; if the mixture becomes too wet, add more tapioca flour to thicken.
-
Taste Test: Adjust the seasoning if necessary. Once the flavor is to your liking, proceed to the next step.
-
Coat the Tofu: Generously coat each tofu piece with the Aci mixture, ensuring it’s well-covered.
-
Fry the Tofu: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the coated tofu pieces until golden and crispy.
-
Enjoy: Serve hot, and enjoy your delicious Tahu Aci that is guaranteed not to be chewy, thanks to the crushed tofu in the batter. Happy cooking! 👌
This delightful recipe combines the crispy texture of fried tofu with the rich flavor of the Aci coating, perfect for a snack or side dish. Enjoy exploring the fusion of flavors!
